Abstract

A cyclist takes different postures of lower extremities while pushing the pedals. In this research, the kinematics of the whole body and injury risk of cyclist were examined for three representative postures of the lower extremities with and without cyclist traveling velocity. The knee height of the cyclist relative to the hood leading edge affected the kinematics and the head impact location against the car. The bicycle velocity influenced not only head impact location in the car lateral direction but also knee deformation.
